Dons chiefs ready to battle SFA

Aberdeen director of football Willie Miller has defended the club's comments about referees after suggestions they were bias.

The Scottish Football Association have contacted Aberdeen over comments made on their official website following their 2-0 defeat to Hibernian last month.

Referee Steve Nicholls sent off Dons duo Chris Maguire and Maurice Ross in that game, after which one club representative, who hasn't been named, wrote on the Aberdeen website that Nicholls had been 'hell-bent' on sending off Dons players at Easter Road.

Miller has now stood by that criticism, claiming he feels Aberdeen have been unfairly treated by officials all season.

"I am ready to face the SFA over the club's comments about referee Steven Nicholls," said Miller.

"I stand by our right to take a stance against what was the latest in a series of occasions when we have felt hard done by.

"The statement we released underlined our frustration at the red cards Chris Maguire and Maurice Ross received against Hibs. The SFA have to do what they believe is right but so does this club.

"We have been on the end of a number of bad decisions over the past year or so and there comes a point when you have to say enough is enough."
